Visiting Podere Erica provides a unique opportunity to experience the best that Tuscany has to offer. Situated on over 30 acres with grape vines, olive trees, pastures and woodland, Podere Erica ensures total privacy with sweeping views over the countryside.

The beautifully restored stone country house is located in Chianti half-way between Florence and Siena. Shortly after exiting the Superstrada, you will find this quiet, tranquil and private spot. And yet, it is at 5 minutes by car to the charming village of San Donato in Poggio where you will find a deli, coffee bar, butcher shop, pharmacy, bancomat, restaurants and other shops.
